Harvard Professor Larry Lessig Says He's Running for President

He declared his candidacy on "This Week." If elected, he says he will be the first “referendum president,” promising to serve only as long as it takes to pass his Citizens Equality Act of 2017 -- a bill aimed at reforming campaign finance, voting rights, and Congressional representation. Once the bill is passed, Lessig said he would then step down, handing over the reins to his vice president. Ref. Source 1p

How cool it would be to have what if real life movies be played out in front of us so we could see the outcome. For instance "What if a Harvard professor was president of the United States?" Who knows, better decisions might be made but politics is a whole other religion of intelligence and deceit. No one will buy that step down thing either - sounds like a gimmick.
